Four years after his monumental Asterism, Alexander Schubert returns to Strasbourg to present his latest reflection on the connections between music, technology, and contemporary identities.
Eternal Dawn is a staged piece focused on the theme of transhumanism, brought to life by the Decoder Ensemble and a large team of multidisciplinary artists and scientists. In a futuristic environment, the musicians transform into cyborgs equipped with sensors and bodily extensions. As they interact and evolve in these bio-altered forms, the performers become instruments of meaning, exposing the tensions and implications of a transhuman future.
